Tuesdays in the Garden: Just keeping up

not much going on in the garden except growing, weeding, and watering. A few more flowers have bloomed, but other than that it is mostly the same as last week. Hope your gardens are growing well!

Totally, didn't realize yesterday was Tuesday, so here is Tuesdays in the Garden on a Wednesday Again...

This week has been really busy and I am adjusting to a different summer schedule for the next two weeks. Xavier is attending swimming lessons every afternoon and with all the other activities we are doing, the time seems to be flying by! Anyways, the potatoes have really taken off:


and I finally picked up a Hydrangea bush:



now, I just have to decide where I am going to plant it. Some other things are really sprouting up like the radishes and arugula. How are your gardens growing?

Tuesdays in the Garden: A day late...

sorry yesterday was super busy plus I was still not feeling 100% so here are a few things that are really taking off in the garden right now:


some cauliflower that I thought the frost had attacked but it survived!



some radishes...


one of the many tomato plants, they are really doing well in there wooden cages! There is a lot more going on in the garden and next week will probably be a super long post. I might try to squeeze in another post this afternoon if not tomorrow I will be sharing a new weekly feature!

Tuesdays in the Garden: A Little Tour

I know I have been behind on the garden posts for the last couple of weeks, mainly because it has been raining a ton and I haven't really been able to get a whole lot done. Last week, I finally got a few more things planted (my dad has been planting like crazy and building all sorts of things for the garden.) 

Alright here we go, this is garden area #1 or the sort of the main garden:

so far this is what has been planted in there (there is still empty space towards the back): carrots, beets, radishes, buttercrunch lettuce, arugula, green salad bowl lettuce, sugar snap peas, lincoln peas, tomatoes, okra, cauliflower, red bell peppers, green onions, parsley, oregano, lemon grass, and basil. 

Here is garden area #2:



this is mostly the potato area along with some larger onions and a few tomato plants.

Garden area #3:


Cucumbers, spaghetti squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, plus we still need to plant honeydew, some more watermelon (I totally forgot to take pictures of the watermelon patch) cantaloupe, acorn squash, butternut squash and some pumpkins. 

Garden area #4:


So this is mainly asparagus, some artichokes, & a few strawberries. We also have some planters filled with flowers and will have a dill patch. Here's the artichokes:

 




 A geranium.



The strawberry patch. We still have a ton of stuff to plant and hopefully it will all grow! I am really excited about this year's garden, I think it might top last year's!

Tuesdays in the Garden: Outside


a strawberry plant in the strawberry patch



I planted six rows of carrots, a long row of Lincoln peas, and am hoping to get some radishes and sugar snap peas planted this week.



Planting outside is fairly quick using the seed tape method.



A flower bed with a variety of flowers and some lemongrass. I also planted a patch of wildflowers the other day.



and just for fun a rainbow after a little storm on Sunday night!

How is your garden coming along?
